Looking for a quality
frameris an important
decision. Your framed work will be part of your decor and will hang on
your walls for years.

You want to find a
framer who produces quality products. Look at their displays and ask
to see samples of recently completed work. Know
the relative expertise of your framer. Do they have an art or design
background? How many years have they been in the business?

Ask if work is done on premise. Does
anything have to be sent out? Your artwork is important to you, so
knowing how it is handled or where it “goes” is important.

Matting can often
“make or break” a framed item. Be sure you know what the choices are.
Does it need to be acid free? Should a double or triple mat be used?
Can the mat be decorated? Or separated by a fillet? What kind of
cuts can be made? Should you have multiple opening matting?

Your framer should be able to guide you through a wide
variety of choices.

Pricing is an important
factor, but don't sacrifice quality for price. Work with your framer
for the results that you are looking for in within your budget.
